Adrian Broner vs Shawn Porter set for June 20th

It's booked Broner-Porter Booked For June 20

I think it's a bad mistake for Broner not to stay at 140 as there's loads of good fighters he could shine against, build a name and make some cash but maybe he just can't make weight down there anymore.

He's the better boxer out of the two but he'll probably get a Maidana flashback.

Great, this should be a nice fight. As much as Broner is a turd, you can't really knock who he fights, or how for that matter. Says the fight is at 145, but neither can weigh more than 155 the day of though I don't mind a catchweight in general, but having two is a bit much? Making weight is making weight, don't think it should matter how much a guy rehydrates and this might hurt Porter a little bit, when clearly everyone wants to see him at 100%

Agreed, dislike Broner but like that he took this fight. I was a bit taken aback at how Brook took Porter, didn't expect such a one way fight. Right after Porters inhalation of Paulie (what happened to the PED allegation Paulie threw out) This could prove to be a barn burner, I think Broner is realizing he actually needs to work to be a great fighter, not just run his mouth.

Porter is going to beat Broner and get back on track.

Porter is a gigantic welter. Didn't he have to strip naked to make weight against Brook? And he can't rehydrate past 155?

Hopefully he does what all the other Haymon fighters are doing and comes in overweight and smashes Broner to bits. If Porter isn't drained he'll be all over Broner. It'll be like Maidana-Broner except Porter is more skilled than Maidana.

Team Porter obviously don't think the catchweight and the hydration clause are a problem. Hopefully they hire a nutritionist and make the weight without being drained. If Porter looks a shadow of himself and Broner wins I'll be extremely disappointed.

That's what I was thinking, Porter is a big guy and could easily fight at 154, never mind weighing that in the ring. Totally disagree that he's more skilled than Maidana myself though.
